I've purchased a printer, which has enabled me to provide better service to my customers. Through this, I've attracted new clients and made my business more sustainable. Indeed, my income has increased significantly since making this important investment. The funds that helped me purchase the printer have provided me with the opportunity to grow my business and also support my day-to-day needs. Currently, I can meet my daily needs without heavily relying on business income. Additionally, I'd like to inform you that along with these achievements, my family and I have accomplished other successes too. My children are doing well in school, and we continue to enjoy life together. Regarding our community, it's delightful to see how our neighbors enjoy watching sports together. This has fostered a culture of unity and collaboration during such events, further strengthening our community bonds. Also, in our area, we take pride in our traditional holidays and other interesting events that make our neighborhood a great place to live.

All my exams are taken from Person Vue or on online proctoring which proves authenticity. I am now on track to my further studies.

Thank you so much for supporting this venture. As they say education is the key to a brighter future and by providing exercise books at an affordable price I am able to put a smile on a young child's face. These kids are tomorrow's leader and future zidisha members too. January marks the start of a school term and exercise books are an essential part of going back to school. I can't thank you enough for making this possible. Asante

Thank you very much for the trust that has been given to me, I will use the funding assistance that has been provided for purchases including additional capital assets such as raw materials in the form of stock of bread, jam and cheese. Then additional stock for packaging includes paper boxes, plastic wrap. With the additional capital provided, it really helps to develop the business because at the moment I am constrained by capital to increase stock of goods, so far I have been shopping for limited stock of goods and in the end a lot of time is wasted because the turnover of goods is disrupted by a shortage of stock (when there are events it often happens). the goods run out first) I am very grateful to the funders and I promise to maintain the commitment and trust that has been given, hopefully this can provide positive things. May the donors be given health and abundant sustenance by GOD/ALLAH SWT. Once again, thank you very much and hopefully we can help each other and work together in the future. Thank you

Hello dear lenders and happy new year to you all.. 2023 was a relatively tough year in Kenya but I thank God and the Zidisha family for making me able to pursue my project. Prices of stuff sky rocketed and ordinary loans wete unaffordable. I am forever grateful for Zidisha family because they gave me a cusion that is unmatched. I was able to buy some refurbished mabatis 7@1000 each, nails and barbed wire to repair the coup. The repair took abit long because of the heavy rains which could start very early. The festivities also ate into out time. The place is now ready. I am moving the chics this week after their 2nd vaccine. The el nino rains have also subsided and my chics can now play outside in good sunshine. I am so thankful to my lendets for making this possible. Thanks so much and God bless you.
